考研

　　 翻译硕士的基础是词汇，只有掌握了充足的词汇量才能够进行深入的语言翻译，渲染、着色，让翻译出来的句子更加的贴切，唯美。 文都教育小编认为单纯的死记单词效果非常不好，通过做题来掌握词汇不失为一个好办法，下面我们就一起来通过做题提高词汇量吧。   

　　56. Kate's ambition to become a nurse _____ from a desire to help others.

　　A. prompted B. promoted C. programmed D. proceeded

　　[答案] D. proceeded.

　　[注释]proceed form (=arise form) 来自; 由......产生：1) Clouds of smoke proceeded form the chimney. (从烟囱里升起缕缕浓烟。) 2) This proceeded from ignorance. (这是出于无知。)

　　[注意] proceed 的其他用法： (=go on [to do sth.]; continue) 接着 (做某事) ; 继续进行; 1) He proceeded to give me a vivid description of the mountainous scenery there. (他接着给我栩栩如生地描述那里的山区景色。) 2) 接介词with; Now please proceed with your story. (现在请你接着将下去。) 3) 接介词to: We will now proceed to the next business. (我们现在将接着干下面的一件事。) 4) 准备取得 (某种学位) ：He will proceed to the degree of M.A. this year. (他准备今年取得文科硕士学位。)

　　本题译文：凯特想当护士的志向出自于帮助他人的愿望。

　　57. The island where these rare birds nest has been declared a _____.

　　A. observation B. reservation

　　C. preservation D. conservation

　　[答案] D. conservation.

　　[注释] conservation 保存(自然资源等) the conservation of soil and water 水土保持; the law of conservation of energy 能量守恒定律。observation观察; reservation (旅馆房间、戏院座位等的) 预定; 保留 (意见) ; [美]保留地：1) Have you make your reservations? (你预定了没有?) 2) I will accept the suggestion without reservation. (我将毫无保留地接受这项建议。) 3) The government has set apart Indian reservations. (政府已经划出印地安人保留地。) preservation保存 We must strive for the preservation of our natural resources. (我们必须努力保护自然资源)

　　conservation, preservation, reservation从汉语概念出发时很容易混淆。Conservation是动词conserve派生的名词, 与原来动词的意义相同, 表示"保持、保存”时, 强调“珍惜、节用。 Preservation是动词preserve派生的名词, 强调“收藏、保存”使之完好无损或质量不变; 常与食品、博物馆收藏的展品等词搭配。Reservation主要指意见、看法等的“保留”; 作“保留地”解时, 尤指美国印地安人保留地或澳大利亚土著民族保留地。本题指自然生态的保持, 用conservation最切题。

　　本题译文：这个珍禽巢居的岛已宣布为自然保护区。
